Thanks for the kind words, hope it lasts another 16 years.
Cterrebonne- Single axle because the boat is fairly light, I don't know about going with a single under a V-20 but RWilson does. The trailer is pretty much stock, it came with the 2 speed winch. Loadmaster builds a decent trailer IMO. Reel, I wish I knew the answer to the annodized question. If it had the finish, it doesn't now. The moment I started rubbing with the compound I got the telltale black from the aluminum. The fenders were the same, I think it is not anodized but will try to keep something on it to protect it from here. I am thinking Woody's because it is easy.

Both RW and myself use single axle trailers. I've trailered my V20 boat from Florida to New Jersey without a hiccup. My V21 has a dual axle, but that's just because it came with it when I bought it. To my way of thinking, as long as your trailer is rated for the load it's carrying, it really doesn't make any difference if it's single or dual axle. (Although dual axels are a little more forgiving if you get a flat).

The difference between single or double axle is:
With a double axle if you cut a curb short and run over it you may overload the single axle and this could bend the axle and cause the tire to be leaned out or in. This will cause the tire to wear prematurely; where as the double axle the other axle will help carry the weight. With my tractors and mowers I have found it's cheaper in the long run for me to buy only double axle trailers in lieu of buying 1-2 sets of tires every year for a single axle.

If I was gonna go out and buy a new trailer for my V, I'd find a single axle rated to handle it...less weight over all, less contact w/the road, so GOTTA be better fuel economy for those two reasons...fewer tires to buy when worn, fewer hubs to maintain...and ya may have some support w/a tandem in case of a blow-out, but it's STILL gonna put ya on the side of the road either way...and either way, you should have a spare to put on...
I have a buddy who mistakenly thought w/a tandem you could continue to drive if one went flat...boy did HE F__K up!!... Starting over?...I'd go single axle...
